Great. Just what the USA does NOT need: another tall, skittish horse. We have plenty of those already - gaited and non-gaited. If tall and skittish is your thing, just call your local rescue agency and they can probably offer you a dozen or more that fit that description - for free, or for a tiny adoption fee. (Of course, you might get lucky and find some tall, non-spooky horses there too.) What a bad impression to give people of the breed...and pity the poor horse. How much will Gudmar ask for this horse... $10,000, $12,000, or even $15,000? >>> Gudmar states that sometimes it take a year or longer for a horse to >>> get comfortable after importation. IMHO, if it regularly takes a year for horses to adjust to a new country, that's a lot of unnecessary stress on a horse. Sure, I think it can take as much as a year for most horses to FULLY feel relaxed in a new home, but if one is terrified of such basic landscape items as fences and roads, that's another ball of wax altogether.
